Business Development / Referral Contracts – We work extensively in the crypto payments industry. Getting the right business development contract for parties seeking to refer large transaction volumes to processors is essential, and having an experienced contracts lawyer ensures the terms protect your interests. We also do opinion letters on the legality of payments arrangements, which are often required by banks and other financial institutions—another area where a skilled contracts lawyer can add real value to your FinTech startup.

Internal AML / KYC Policies – With a strong background in financial services compliance, Ari Good can develop your policy base, from Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Policies to policies related to internal controls, data protection, anti-bribery and corruption policies and cryptocurrency listing criteria (for cryptocurrency exchanges, for example).

Web3 & DAO-Specific Contracts – We have set up and worked with projects operating through DAOs, both in the United States and internationally.  We can draft the operating agreements specific to either member or algorithmically managed DAOs, along with the meeting minutes and governance policies you will need to keep your organization running smoothly.

Merchant Services Agreements – A solid Merchant Services Agreement will lay out the key transaction processing terms, settlement and payout methods, fee schedules, refund and chargeback policies, risk disclosures and disclaimers, and AML/KYC compliance terms. These are all negotiable matters in the competitive merchant processing space, and having a knowledgeable contracts lawyer with crypto payments experience to handle the drafting and negotiation can make a huge difference in your bottom line.

Customized Contracts for Your Business – While it would be nice to be able to do business on a handshake, the courts are full of litigants who never bothered to put down in writing what their true intentions are. We can help you tease out and address all of the underlying issues between you and your business partners, and help you craft a bespoke agreement that truly reflects the parties’ needs.
